This orthodox church located pretty near to the harbor and top of the hill. One of the beauty of European churches in nowadays is anyone can enter as a tourist and enjoy the beautiful architecture as well interiors. Market square, and many more attractive places are nearby.

Impressive building! Lovely to admire on the outside and on the inside. Religious ceremonies take place in this church, it is not a museum. When we went there, we had the chance to see an Orthodox wedding. It was a lovely experience. I definitely recommend to visit it.

Stands watch above the Market Square on its hill. Quite a gorgeous building where they didn't spare the cost when it was built. Very ornate inside with the common Russian Orthdox icons and dark colour scheme. Well worth a visit when in Helsinki.
-
This Orthodox Cathedral has a strikingly beautiful exterior. The interior is quite nice and decorated with frescoes and sculptures. Definitely worth a visit.

Imposing building close to the harbour. The views from the terrace outside are good. There are a lot of steps, but disabled access is possible. This is a cathedral in the Finnish Orthodox Church. Entry is free.
